As the popularity of vaping continues to steadily increase, more people are entering into the market looking for new things to try. While standard vaping is very popular with some groups of people, the newest vaping trend on the rise is dry herb vaporizing. Because our daily lives have become so busy, convenience is almost as important as the experience itself. Because of this, handheld dry herb vaporizers have become an incredibly popular choice. However, there are several factors that go into choosing which vaporizer is going to be most fit for whatever needs you have. Below we will be exploring some of the different factors and features that may affect your dry herb vaping experience.

What you’re vaporizing will have a big impact on your experience with it. There are different strains of dry herb that affect people in different ways. There are also other types of dry herbs, like chamomile, lavender, and tobacco that are popular and can be used for different things. Some people use it recreationally (when legal) and others use it for medicinal purposes. Whatever the use may be, it’s best if you test them out and see what works best for you.

The temperature you heat different herbs will affect the quality of the hit. With the different dry herbs that are being vaporized, it is important to be aware of the optimal temperature at which the herb is vaporized. The temperature can affect the flavor of the vapor, and if it’s being heated at the wrong temperature, it can cause the vapor to taste burnt and unpleasant. Some vaporizers offer an adjustable temperature setting to give users more options.

The heating chamber size will also affect how you vaporize dry herbs. With chamber size, it’s more of a test for what’s best for the particular user. The size will affect how long it takes to heat up, and in turn affect how your herbs vaporize. How tightly you pack the chamber will also affect how you vape. The tighter packed the chamber is, the longer it takes to heat it fully, and you may even accidentally burn some of your herb in the process. A full but not completely tight pack is ideal for the herb in your vaping chamber.

The wattage compatibility is another important factor to pay attention to when looking for a vaporizer. As previously mentioned, the temperature at which certain dry herbs are heated at will affect the flavor of the vapor. Some devices have different wattage capabilities. So, if you prefer herbs that require higher heat, it is important to make sure that your device is able to reach those temperatures without any issues. Some devices allow you to modify the battery that you put in so you can get one to fit your needs.

The biggest thing to keep in mind when trying to find the perfect hand held dry herb vaporizer is to be flexible and willing to try things out. If you aren’t willing to test different features, then you won’t know what works best for your needs. There are so many different combinations that you can customize with the vaporizers. While it may take a few tries to find exactly what you want, but when you do it will be well worth it.
